It is actions which caused the harm, not words. If I tell you to jump out of the window, will you? If you do, it was eventually your decision to do it, while I might be joking. Not my proposition will kill you, but your own action.
Sure, now some people might say that myself telling you to jump out of the window is bad and crime and caused harm, but I disagree with this, and I do think that this is a problem with current society. We are forgetting about personal responsibility and blame somebody else.

A good question. I am with you on this. I see a lot of this "they do not understand it", but what is it?
Currently, I tend to see this "understanding" as the relation of an object, an action, a property to myself. For example, what is "water"? "Water" can be used by me this or that way, it can do this or that to me, etc. Obviously, no LLM can do this, as they do not have "itself", that is, they have no "self awareness". They do not value the "self", they do not protect the "self", they do not need to feed the "self", etc.
On the other hand, you do not need to "understand" many things to make use of them, or talk about them. Take "the electron", nobody understands it, it is impossible to understand it. It is an elementary particle, it is a basis function of our world. However, we can still talk about electrons and even use them. So... one does not have to have some "full understanding" of things to be a useful in a discussion. This must be true for LLMs as well. \
Regarding "LLM's reasoning" at the moment, I tend to agree with the study. They go around in circles with this reasoning, but it is not obvious if this makes it any better. The study says it does not, so be it.

... give them more money. Clearly, somebody wants more money. Covid is gone, global warming is getting old, so.. chemicals are going to kill us all!

First, you (we) have to define what you mean by "thinking".
A lot of it goes to the application of the "object", its usefulness for the "subject", the one who is "thinking". LLMs in this context, do not have any use for these objects. So, this is where you claim they do not "think". Which is kind of true.
However, I am pretty sure that "we", when "thinking", we use very much similar way to process information, as LLMs do, when they do their thing.
Thus, when people claim that LLMs do not "think", I would think that they give too much credit to human ability to process information. The way human brain does it is very much well done "pattern matching", which is exactly what LLMs do, just in their domain.
Read "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman and you will see the light.

Who do you mean by "Nazis from Ukraine"? Specifically? And why do you call them this? On what ground?

Think about it, if Ukraine has independence, they would use _Ukrainian_ language, if russia absorbs Ukriane, they will be using russian language, exactly the way it was before Ukraine got independence in 199x. So... who is the "Nazi" here? Who hates who's nationality?
Did Ukraine invade russia to stop russians from using their language?

Do not you see, that the words "nazi", "fascist" have lost their meanings. They are just tags you label people you do not like, and everyone knows that these people are bad. We really should stop using them.
The words do not mean here anything, what means is what those people do. In this context, for example, "Azov" did a lot of good in protecting the freedom of Ukraine. "Wagner" did a lot of bad by killing a lot of Syrians, Ukrainians, and even russians. There are no literal "Evil" and "Good", but I can clearly see difference between, say, "Wagner" and "Azov". Do not you?

America is doing the same already. Try searching (an may be finding) some hate speech or other highly controversial topics and you will be arrested. You do not have to generate that content, just access it. While russian low is less well defined and probably much wider in its application, it is not so much different from what we have already in the west.
Both are bad, of course.

Just for your information, "bottle receivers" here means butts. This references the tradition of russian police to sit people they do not like on empty bottles to make them uncomfortable.

But LLMs only regurgitate what was put in them, how is it possible? Or do they?

Somebody has put some effort into the initial training, but this is not unique. There is no value in trying to protect an instance of what can be easily replicated. However, if you get a robot which stays with you, say for 5 years, and it remembers all the interactions with your and has been learning from you. It will be 5 years of your time which cannot be easily replicated. If this robot is destroyed, I would imagine you would be quite upset about it. This, I would assume, should be protected somehow. Probably, similar to pets... at least.

It used to be that people faces could be linked to their identities by matching to their public profiles. Now, people will be identified by photos of their genitals too...

True, true. US Robotics is *a* company, not companies. Damn the editors.

It feels like a fraud. They are doing it second time, as I heard, and fail the same way.

Sending a vertical tower to another planet with a soft dusty surface and expect it to stand vertically, even though it had already tipped over before... I am not sure what to say. Probably, they need to try that again.

On the other hand, if it is an empty shell, and was never expected to survive... That could make a nice money laundering scheme..

I read it the way that the song is different, it is the artist who sounds similar to somebody famous.
